To get the free spicy chicken nuggets, customers need to place a Wendy's order through DoorDash and use the code "SPICYNUGGS" at checkout. The first 500,000 customers from Monday through August 19 (or as supplies last) will get a free six-count of spicy nuggets.

Back in June, Chance the Rapper Tweeted "Positive Affirmations for today... “Wendy's WILL bring back spicy nuggets at some point please please Lord let it be today". This Tweet spurred fans to offer up 2 million likes and over 410,000 retweets.

The nuggets were removed from the menu in 2017.
